Are you saying that if I say something that you find hard to believe, and then someone decided to torture me, you would then believe whatever I had said before I was tortured? -- I admit it!

"You know when you take one of them... uh..."
"Big wooden crosses?"
"Yeah, that's it. An' you get... uh..."
"Some six-penny nails?"
"Yeah! An' you drive the nails right through your palms...
Oooooh that smarts!"
"Yeah, I hate it when that happens!"
"But you know what *really* get's me is when you take one of... uh."
"Them 'Crowns of Thorns'?"
"Yeah, right! An' you put it *right* on yer *forehead*."
"Boy, I know how that is... *that* really *smarts*!"
"Yeah, I *really* hate it when *that* happens!"
"And them Centurions with the spears... talk about yer side-ache!"

I recall some studies which indicate that nails through the palms of a person's hands will not support the person's weight. The nails were actually driven through the wrists, which will support a person's weight. I also believe that posts were actually used. I'm not sure where the idea of a cross came from. R. C. Moseley
